Overnight Peaches and Cream Chia Seed Oats

Overnight Peaches and Cream Chia Seed Oats- just 5 minutes to prep and you wake up to a delicious and healthy breakfast that’s packed full of protein! (vegan + gluten-free)

I’ve seen overnight oats all over the internet for as long as I can remember but I always thought to myself, why would anyone want to eat cold oatmeal? That’s just weird.

Well, my friends, I stand corrected. I finally jumped on the overnight oatmeal train and now I never want to get off. They’re SO good!

Eating cold oats couldn’t be more refreshing now that it’s hot outside. And when you combine them with a little almond milk, yogurt and chia seeds, they take on a delicious creamy texture that tastes incredible paired with fresh peaches.

I have to thank Marcie and Kristine for finally convincing me to give them a try. We were chatting on the plane ride home from the Everything Food Conference and they were both going on and on about how good overnight oats are with chia seeds. I’m not always a fan of the texture of chia seeds but I have to admit they do blend really well with the texture of the oats. Plus I love that they offer up a healthy serving of Omega-3 fatty acids.

I created this Peaches and Cream Chia Seed version in partnership with my friends over at Almond Breeze who are the official almondmilk of Team USA Volleyball this year. They asked me to share something that would help you guys “Serve up Your Best” and I believe these oats are just that. Between all of the protein and fiber from the chia seeds and oats, the probiotics in the yogurt, and the calcium and vitamin D in Almond Breeze’s Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend, it makes for one powerhouse breakfast!

Ingredients:

Directions:

In a small bowl or jar, add the oats, chia seeds, yogurt, and almond milk. Stir together, cover tightly with a lid and refrigerate overnight. The next morning it will be ready to eat. Add fresh peach, serve and enjoy!

*Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats for allergies

**I like to use vanilla almond milk yogurt but any yogurt will work. If you use plain you might want to add a 1/2 teaspoon of sweetener such as pure maple syrup, honey (if not vegan), or agave.

I used to say the same thing about overnight oats! Then I tried them and thought they were actually really good. Peaches and cream anything sounds so good to me! P.S>- took the survey!

I thought the same thing about overnight oats before trying them, but now I’m absolutely hooked! I’m digging this idea of combinging overnight oats with a little chia pudding action…so thick, creamy, and healthful. And PEACHES?! UGH, I can’t wait until we get some good ones in my area. You best believe one of my major To Dos when I visit you and Brandon in GA is eat aaaaaaaaaall the Georgia peaches!

The ultimate comfort food to have on the ready! Such a delicious recipe and generous giveaway! OMGggg those peaches (!!!!!!!). Thank you for this Sarah!

Peachesssssss! I need some in my life. I haven’t been seeing too many of them in the stores yet, but as soon as they arrive, I know that summer.has.HIT. And you’re definitely right about them being amazing in overnight oats!

So pretty! Overnight oats and chia pudding are great. Now that I have dairy sensitivity I started to make chia pudding on a regular basis and even my kids eat it now too. Who would think?! They used to hate it. Can’t argue with health benefits of Omega 3-s.

I took the survey. :) You have inspired me to give overnight oats a try; your recipe with the pictures make it look good. Thanks for the post.

Your first overnight oat creation looks like a huge success — you can never go wrong with peaches ‘n cream! These look gorgeous, Sarah, and I’m glad the chia seed thing worked for you here. This is such a great way to get even more peaches in front of me! :)

This recipe looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it. Peaches pack such a great summer flavor, and I can’t believe I haven’t tried putting them in overnight oats yet! Revolutionary.
Also, I took the survey–I love almond breeze!
Thanks!!

I love making overnight oats that are heavy on the chia!!

took the survey, i love peaches!

took the survey!

So, I keep hearing about how amazing overnight oats are and I tried to experiment with them a while ago and they just didn’t turn out how I was expecting. I think I need to give them another try with your peaches and cream version though because they look awesome! I’ve been cooking with peaches all weekend and I just can’t get enough! And a cold breakfast in this 115 degree heat we are having sounds perfect!

It was delicious! Definitely going to make the most of it while fresh peaches are available!

I love overnight oats and this recipe is another winner . I just took the survey .

I had this (for the first time) this morning, only I changed it up a little bit. We rarely seem to have peaches around where I am, in Tasmania, so I used some banana, with a sprinkle of coconut, and a teaspoon of all-natural peanut butter – crunchy! It was so yummy and incredibly filling. I may have it again tomorrow, but this time with some mixed berries. I may have found a new morning staple.

This looks amazing! I need to try this…like, tomorrow. Love the photos, too!

Every time I try looking to see how far in advance I can make these and keep in the fridge I get bumped to a snap page that doesn’t let me exit it. I have to close out safari as a whole and come back here. I visit your page a lot and it’s the first time it’s happened. Not sure if it’s on your end or mine.

ANYWAY…how far in advance can I make these? Tasted the spoon after stirring everything up and can’t wait for later when they’re ready!

Sorry…a “spam” page not snap page.

I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having issues with my site! I don’t usually get complaints about things like that so hopefully it was something random that you won’t encounter again. If it still does that to you after today, please let me know!

You can make the overnight oats up to 3 days in advance. They will probably stay good for longer but I wouldn’t wait too long. :)
